Trad IRA rollover to Roth with gains

After a $6000 traditional IRA contribution in 2019 and another in 2020, I rolled the balance into a Roth. The balance included $7.98 gain. I am fine on my 8606's with $6000 each year with the **bleep** totaling $12000 for 2020. My 1099-R reflects the $12007.98 as taxable, with a code 02 in box 7. Turbo TAx has resulted in the total amount as non taxable due to the rollover. This is all fine. However, I understand the gains should be taxable. This does not appear to be happening nor can I figure out if I should be doing something different. I have tried following several similar responses about rollovers, but none include an amount for gains incurred between investing and rolling the money. Any direction or assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Trad IRA rollover to Roth with gains

The 8606 should show the earnings as taxable.  Review the 8606 lines 1-15 for an error in your entries. Or the "Taxable IRA Distribution Worksheet" if there is an * next to line 15.

 

Your total basis shoukd be $12,000 that offsets $12,000 leaving the gains as taxable on line 18.
